This weekend was awesome... it was a 'weird' awesome...it was a summer weekend, despite the fact that i'm two semester tests away from summer. But, for once it wasn't raining....it was hot outside, which made me really happy!

Saturday started out on the tandum bike -bike made for two- Imagine this....the Rebers cruising through town on the magical "two-seater", spreading joy and happiness to the citizens of our humble community....it was awesome! We got so many comments and cackles! "Hey Doublemint twins!", "Is there a third seat for me?", "Is that thing hard to ride?" However, some people would just throw their arms into the air and yell, "REBERS!!" -and we would wave back, our balance completely unshifted, because we are tandum bike pros. I even saw some of my family that I haven't hung around in months....it was an eventful afternoon! Tandum bikes = pizzazz!

Then there was a slight dry spell- our "third wheel" jumped on board...lol, our wonderful little clay. We went and got some ice cream! I was pleased with my pint of lemon ice cream, clayton had his blizzard, my bro had some cotton candy flavor burst...but, kristen! She had the best work of art of them all -created by the weirdo guy too! - it was a banana split! A beautiful three mounds of ice cream topped with all kinds of crap..........and it was delicous....However, it gave kristen this killer stomach ache which eventually led to her demise.....that's right guys, she had to go home.

So that left me n Clay...we got this bright idea to go to Sanchris lake with my doggies! We spent four hours there goofing around...playing around. We sat in all the cool places and all the cool benches and talked about all the things that we should do this summer (fishing, boating, camping, etc) - We talked about how awesome the sunset would look, and added it to our "make out spot" list -which of course consists of spots strictly NOT meant for making out! :) haha. My dog dove into the water -which was awesome...It made me happy to see my dog swimming toward her floating glow in the dark ball. However, Gus, the new puppy, wasn't enthusiastic and sat down and slept a lot -that's okay, cuz he's really cute. :)

We had fun, kind of the hard to explain fun.... Relaxing with a best friend and my dogs has got to be as close to paradise as a person in the midwest can achieve.

Instead of driving towards home, we drove away from home... just so we could drive into the sunset. Sounds cheesy, huh? Well, sometimes the biggest cheese in life makes the best memories! We never did turn around to go back home, just kept driving into the sunset, for some reason, we felt all free...maybe it was because the windows were rolled down or the fact that we didn't have to wear jackets that day...who knows, but it felt good to just keep driving....into the sunset, into the unknown. Lying back with my feet propped up by the window, music filtering through the speakers, Sandy's head out the window, Gus's face scrunched, Clayton's arm on my head.....I thought to myself.....does life really get any better than this? All while driving into the sunset......................wow, what a memory.

....so we just kept driving....

...we didn't stop either! We ended up in Chatham...where I have never been before. Miraculously found a road that led to auburn, which led to 104 - which would get us home. Home. home makes me happy- and there were dogs in the back seat (mind you, a dog that has jumped into the lake!)

...I guess i just love road trips...

I guess this weekend made things look promising, summer will be awesome this year, no doubt about it.
